"No!" Vincent has just enough time to register Jay coming at him. He only manages to turn his body halfway. He only manages to get one arm into proper position for the shield he raises. He feels the impact against the shield, and then the arm he has fully facing the green beast goes numb. For a moment.

He registers a sickening snap before pain explodes across his awareness. He's dimly aware of letting out a scream, and then the shield gives way. A massive fireball hurls forward at Jay.
